Rat Race Task 4

Much better conditions today saw people getting up to 7000 feet, and much cooler temps on the ground too. The race was a 47.2 km task ending at Donato's Goal. Brad Gunn got 1000 points for being in goal first.
Paul Murdoch was second in goal on his DHV 2-3, very impressive considering the next 10 gliders in goal were comp wings (Len's wing is incorrectly listed as a Boom Sport).
There were 3 gliders in the trees today - no one got injured, but I wonder if people are flying to aggressively?? Personally, I don't think it's worth gambling for the extra ~50 points...
Two more days to go.
Results are here.
stay tuned
